DECLARATION OF WAR
Two decades ago, Shogun: Total War spawned a history-spanning strategy series, several spin-offs and even a detour into Warhammer. Almost all of them are unified by tactical real-time battles, turn-based empire-building, and a foundation that was established all the way back in the late 1990s, during Shogun’s development. But the first concept for the game looked very different.
In 2000, Creative Assembly released its hybrid. There was diplomacy, trade, ninjas going around murdering people; thenRTS.
